Regarding that
documentary Brenda
Walker blogged about.This is part of a larger trend I've noticed.The usual suspects have been trying to turn 4th
of July into
Immigration Day. The subtext being that immigration
is inherently patriotic and part of the American
tradition and of course
being against it is unpatriotic.

In my town a few
years ago various
"communities" entered floats in the
4th of July parade. On
each float they wore their respective national dress and
waved THEIR
flags, not the
US flag. A
lot of people noticed this and wrote letters to the
editor and talked about it on local talk radio.They never did it again.
